Short film: Mis-drop
Mis-drop is a short film that does a lot with very little. Give it some time as the best special effects come right at the end but that’s not the point of the film. The point of the film is the sequence in which our rookie is in his dropsuit. The whole premise is a […]
Short film: SubWars
Blood and gore splatter aplenty when an old man isn’t offered a seat on a busy subway. The Force is strong with this fellow. He looks the part, I admit, and I don’t think anyone is surprised when he pulls out a red lightsaber. The question is; why didn’t anyone offer him a seat. Would […]

Short film: Project Kronos
I think this is clever. It’s a bold attempt at a short film in the documentary style. The sci-fi piece imagines what interstellar space travel might be like in the not too distant future but after some radical rethinking. This radical rethinking opens up a much larger issue for the team of scientists to get […]
Short film: Machine Stopped Working
This short film is an entry by Batwings & Bubblegum for Sci-Fi London’s 2014 48hr film competition. This means the whole film was made in 48hrs and that includes the special effects such as a 10-foot tall robot. Another twist of the challenge is the line and prop that must be used. They had to […]
